It is elementary and well known that a nonzero polynomial in one variable of degree d with coefficients in a field F has at most d zeros in F. It […]
We prove, in this joint work with Maksym Radziwill, a 1978 conjecture of S. Patterson (conditional on the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis) concerning the bias of cubic Gauss sums. This explains […]
In a remarkable series of papers Zlil Sela classified the first-order theories of free groups and torsion-free hyperbolic groups using geometric structures he called towers, and independently Olga Kharlampovich and […]
Public key quantum money is a replacement for paper money which has cryptographic guarantees against counterfeiting. We propose a new idea for public key quantum money. In the abstract sense, […]
A numerical semigroup is a subset S of the natural numbers that is closed under addition. One of the primary attributes of interest in commutative algebra are the relations (or […]
Biquandle brackets are skein invariants of biquandle-colored knots, with skein coefficients that are functions of the colors at a crossing. Biquandle power brackets take this idea a step further with […]
A classic problem in graph theory is to find the chromatic number of a given graph: that is, to find the smallest number of colors needed to assign every vertex […]
Beilinson gave a resolution of the diagonal for complex projective space, which gives a strong, full exceptional collection of line bundles as a generating set for the derived category of coherent sheaves. Bayer-Popescu-Sturmfels generalized Beilinson's resolution of the diagonal by giving a cellular resolution of the diagonal for a proper subclass of smooth toric varieties […]
For a lattice L in the plane, we define the affiliated deep hole lattice H(L) to be spanned by a shortest vector of L and the furthest removed vector from the lattice contained in the triangle with sides corresponding to the shortest basis vectors. We study the geometric and arithmetic properties of deep hole lattices, […]
We explore the application of spectral graph theory to the problem of characterizing linguistically-significant classes of tree structures. We focus on various classes of syntactically-defined tree graphs, and show that the spectral properties of different matrix representations of these classes of trees provide insight into the linguistic properties that characterize these classes. More generally, our […]
We study variants of the Frobenius coin-exchange problem: Given n positive relatively prime parameters, what is the largest integer that cannot be represented as a nonnegative integral linear combination of the […]
The Ehrhart polynomial of a lattice polytope P counts the number of integer points in the nth integral dilate of P. The f^* -vector of P, introduced by Felix Breuer […]
